Grey Lynn Park launches ‘no mow’ initiative to boost biodiversity
A ‘no mow’ pilot at Grey Lynn Park is being funded by the Waitematā Local Board to improve biodiversity outcomes.
Local residents have championed the project and are working alongside Auckland Council to manage the pilot areas on the park’s grassy slopes visible from Williamson Avenue.
Board chair Richard Northey said the local board are pleased to fund the pilot which supports one of their key priorities, environmental protection and enhancement.
“We look forward to seeing the pilot areas in the park return to wilderness, providing richer habitat for birds, bees and other insects,” he said.
Local resident Wendy Grey said she’s thankful to the local board for providing funding and support for the project.
“A long-term planting plan is being worked on and signage will explain the purpose and benefits of the no mow pilot,” she said.
The Wild Initiative are hoping that by not mowing the pilot areas in the park, soils will regenerate, restoring a healthy ecosystem.
